Hello ... this is Fred.
No. not the Fred in your quite delightful article, but Fred: Almost Famous, a fellow medium writer.
My enjoyment of this story was not only the 'Fred' bit, but the 'Zoo' bit, and the fact that like your fred, i have always loved animals of all types - and as a boy I spent a lot of time visiting zoos and circuses.
My Stories index (see link lower down) has a collection of Animal stories if you are interested.
Anyway Peter, I think that you write good !!
I am also, writing to thank you for reading some of my stories, and for deciding to follow me.
I have decided to follow YOU, and I am happy to have you as one of my Medium friends.
Do check-out NEW INDEX to Fred’s Story Boxes. (its also pinned near-top of my Home Page). I hope that it provides you with a handy guide and an easy way of selecting a story to read.
👍😊❤
Fred
